Epic WTF

Sergio Leone tribute/ Taranto film. Three former darts team members search for a huge cache of tungsten, while doing each other down and backstabbing each other under pretense of co-operating with each other, until after some comic-dramatic scenes all wind up at the hoard and a three way dart-off (shootout?) Which involves fantastic orchestral compositions and too many close ups of their eyes. Someone walk off into the sunset, possibly enigmatically.

Lee Evans for the lead role?

Wes Anderson film. Someone's playing darts, Bill Murray and a Wilson are there.

I can just hear the trumpet solo from here.

Needs Jim Bowen.

Doable, particularly as the last scene will be in a graveyard.

I'm going to make all of these movies, call it the Tungsten Trilogy, and be a billionaire within the year. You watch me.

The Terry Gilliam version;
The original script was greenlit by Harvey Weinstein.
Obviously all the other studios have been reluctant to take over the movie,
and those that were tempted demanded re-writes.
Jonny Depp had signed on to be the male lead ... and we all know how well that aged.
Alan Rickman was due to be the generic 'baddie'...

Meanwhile, Gilliam raised $72M to build a set in Kazakhstan,
(the Titanium is now being stolen from former Soviet facilities,
US focus groups did not believe the UK had any manufacturing),
in order to 'catch' a solar eclipse, but the set was built facing the wrong way,
so the eclipse will have to be CGI'ed in.
The latest script has done away with the darts,
and the Titanium is needed for undersized baseball bats,
as the film now includes the US winning the inaugural World Little League,
beating Russia in the final. Or the Chinese. Or the Cubans.
Possibly with Alec Baldwin as the irascible but inspirational team manager.

Titanium? Pssh.

The same US focus groups did not believe tungsten was a metal.

Then you buy all the tungsten?

at least 7 have been pitched, and you are only making a trilogy?
Leaving money on the table...

2 fast 2 tungstenous 8; Do a tungsten, starring Muscles McGee and the Muscle. Guns, big guns, fast driving, heavy metal, rest of plot TBC but unimportant.

at least 7 have been pitched, and you are only making a trilogy?

IMO the only film franchise with 7 instalments without any flops is Police Academy. I am wary of aiming for such lofty standards.

Hmmm.

"The Tungsten Septet"

Maybe it would work...

Tungs7en, where a salty, world-wise, aging detective takes a young hotshot under his wing to show him the ropes in a hostile world, and whilst being incredibly tough, even the toughest are actually quite brittle.

Un sub

IKR. Darts chat, possibly worse than Golf

They've jahtimmed the WTF thread...WTF

Is he still posting? I blocked him months ago

I should take it back tbh, he posts a bit less and the jokes are alright sometimes.

My only ever block - no regrets.

Aw I thought he was harmless tbh, I only ignore serious offenders. now I'm starting to wonder who has me blocked 😅

Confessions of a darts player.

Missed naming opportunity, there. After all...

Our randy hero, Stan Tongue, brings together an unlikely crew

9 of them plus him, right?

Me too.

Very NSFW...
